One of the things I like about the community is learning different ways to use BB Revu. My needs are minimal, so I don't have a reason to use a lot of the features. But seeing the questions people raise here and the answers that follow shows me the possibilities, and often, I will integrate that knowledge into my workflow.

The list of things I've learned is too numerous to count. One of the first things that comes to mind is how to unlock PDF. Usually, PDFs are locked for good reason, but sometimes it's just a mistake made by the author (or them being overzealous).

Favorite thing: seeing what issues people have in common

Learned: various features and ways to use tools that I hadn't come across before

The fact that actual decision-makers from Bluebeam are active in the community, listening to feedback, helping with issues, and pushing user suggestions into development.

🧠 One thing I've learned from joining the community is:
There are so many! how to choose??? If I had to pick one off the top of my head: Using the Snapshot tool to overlay drawings. Total game changer.

Hi all, We recently experienced a technical issue that caused users to have trouble accessing Bluebeam.com domains. The problem has been fixed, but it may take a little while for the fix to fully take effect everywhere due to how internet systems store temporary information.

Revu keeps windows pdf file status as open or locked even after closing the file or closing Revu
When this happens, I can't move a directory with that file. This reddit post solved it for me. You just need to disable the recent file list in Revu. But I would like to use the recent file list feature someday, now that I have to turn it off. Please fix this Bluebeam. Thanks.…

Is there a way to downgrade the version of REVU I am using?
Resolved: Delete existing version and install old version. Question is in the title. I use the tool chest for my job, I make/edit/modify maybe 50-100 markups a day and whatever was done to the tool chest has ruined its functionality. A few examples: Double click to edit name is now extremely inconsistent. The markups are…

Revu Markups List Sorting
I have been using Revu to build quantity take-offs for construction estimates, I’m trying to clean up the organization and structure of the markups. I typically sort the markups by the subject, but I need to be able to re-sort the line items before I export the take-off. I can’t manually move items on the markup list up or…

Snapshots able to be edited after flattening in other PDF software.
Hello, recently I have encountered an issue regarding certain snapshots and their interactions in other PDF viewers after flattening. When documents flattened in Bluebeam Revu are opened in Adobe Acrobat, snapshots that were previously flattened are able to be selected and edited. Is there a way to have snapshots flatten…
add additional fields to the interactive stamp without losing the pop-up feature
I'm currently working on customizing the engineering review stamp from the custom libraries, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to edit it without disabling the pop-up feature that appears when placing the stamp. Ideally, I want the pop-up to remain active so that the reviewer can fill out the required fields…
Automatically Create Forms
Ok. So I have decided to throw in the towel and look for some help. Towards the end of the year I made a form in Word and then made it fillable through Bluebeam's "Automatically Create Form Fields" in Tools (I believe as it's been a good while). Both samples attached. Since then I have been doing other things, have had…
